Washington Elopements,

There appears to be mania among the
young women of Washington for clipping.
There have been three eiopements from that
city lately which have attracted great
deal of attention on account of the promi-
hence of the young women concerned in
them.
The first one was that of Miss Susanna
Bancroft, the granddaughter of the famous
historian, and Mr.. Carroll. There does not
appear to have been any reason why
these young p ople should have clipped
Miss Bancroft, it is true, was
engaged to Frenchman, but if she didn't
love him, her grandfather, TO whom she
alone owed obedience, would not have urged
her to marry him. She was old el ough
to know her own mind about the matter,
being somewhere between 25 and so years of
age The man she married is several years
younger than she is, but there could have
been no objection to him on any other
ground.
The next young woman to attract atten-
ton by ru ming away to Baltimore and
getting married was Miss Milbourne, an
other society favorite, Nobody knows why
she concluded to take the course she did UNI
less 1t was that her father did not regard her
choice, Mr.. Berry Wall, with favor Mr..
Wall, however, belongs to a good family,
and his mother has plenty of money. Now
that he has wife to support he will proba
bly, cease to lead the dudes in the matter of
dress.
The third elopement that stirred Wash
ington society to its profoundest depths
was that of pretty Miss Bessie Hillyer and
Mr.. Buckly, young bank clerk. Miss
Hillyer's parents wanted her to marry Mr.
Trenholm, a sterling young fellow, the son
of the Comptroller OF the Treasury, and she
had agreed to do SO. She became fascinated
with young Blckly, however, and they
went over TO Baltimore and united their
lives. Washington society is now wonder
ing who will figure in the next elopemert
Elopements, like suicides, appear to come
in punches.

One Thing Pug Dog is Good For
ET0l1a the Ch{cnOO NeIrs

"If you won't use my name" said boarder
at Madison street hotel, ''I'l tell you about
little love affair that is carried on at our house
by means of a pug dog. The proprietor's
daughter, a pretty young lady, has pug pup
that knows less than any dog ever saw--why,
nc doesn't know enoug to chase his own tail
But the young lady thinks great deal of him.
or at least let's on that she does. One of the
clerks of the house is a new young fellow
rather good looking, and, notwithstanding he is
a hotel clerk. modest and bashful. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to see that he loves
the propretor's daughter, and the next easiest
thing TO see is that she1oves him. But he is so
bashful he hardly dareS to look at her, to saw
nothing of telling her his passion, and she poor
thing, cannot speak of her love becauee size is
woman. We boarders have good deal of fun
watching this couple, The young woman
has some important business in the Office
whenever she knows her clerk is on watch-she
has to have an envelope. or pen, or a KEY or
something that she could ring for much easier
than she could come down for, but down she
comes, and every time with the pug in her arms
When she comes up TO the counter she asks for
whatever she warts aud then, setting the ple
on the counter. she hugs and kisses him as if
he were the only creature on earth she cared
snap for. 1t always takes the clerk an unnec-
essari long time to find what she preteuds to
want and when he has found it he turns his at
tention to the dog, He hugs the pug and strokes
him, and finally tnusters up courage enough to
kiss him on his cold nose, prec Sely where the
young woman's pretty lips had pressed She
usually manages to kiss the dog again before
she goes, and then the clerk follows her with his
wistful eyes un ii she goes out of sight kissing
the nose that he has kissed. This thing is of
daily occurrence, and has been going on for
some time. Ohe of these days that clerks pas
sion will get tile better of him. and he will grab
the mistress of that dog in HIS arms and put a
kiss on her lips that will burn into her very
soul. and he will be surprised almost out of his
wis to see how willingly she t1kes it. But then
the pug'S occupation will be gone"

TIE Old Ceme:ery Election.

The people Of this city will have an oppor-
tunity early next month to decide whether
the old cemetery on South Broad street shall
remain in its present dilapidated and neg
| lected condition or shall be improved in ac-
cordance with the plans already made public
by the city and county authorities. There
are few people doubtless who are sincerely
opposed to proposed improvements for SEN
timental reasons, but if they will think a
moment they cannot fail to see
that even from their standpoint
their opposition is against their own inter
ests. If the present effort to make the old
cemetery an attractive spot fails the
agitation for its improvement will continue,
and in short time will result not only in
removing its walls and tombs, but in util-
izing it for streets and building purposes.
Each year, as death removes those who
have members of their families buried
there, the opposition to improving it will
become weaker until in few years it will
disappear altogether. 1t will then be
utilized in whatever way appears at the
time to be most advantageous, without any
regard to sentiment. VIII it not be wiser,
therefore, even for the sentimentalists TO
join hands with those who are only in
fiuenced by desire to promote the best in
terests of the city, and carry out the plans
of the county and city authorities.
These plans command general approval.
The ashes of the unremoved dead will be
the subject of tender care Instead of re-
posing in place overgrown with weeds and
kept park. A court house and a city hall
will be erected in the park in the course of
time, but they will only add to its attract
iveness. No streets will be opened through
it, but trees and shrubbery and walks will
make it place where quiet and rest will be
sought and found.
When the old cemetery is improved the
property in the vicinity of it will undergo
a marked change. It's value will increase
at once. The section between the cemetery
and East Broad street. will become much
more desirable as place of residence than
it is because whatever Objectionable features
it now has will be removed. New and better
houses will be built there In fact, the i'm
provement of the Old cemetery will have
beneficial influence for quite distance all
around it,
If the vote next month is in favor. of i'm
proving the cemetery the city and county
buildings will all be close together in the
course of year or two. That will be a
great advantage to those who have business
with the city and county The truth is the
reasons for improving the cemetery lot are
numerous and strong, while those against
it are few and weak

kicking Against a Bad system.

Some of the cigar manufacturers in New
York have decided to return next year to
the tenement house system of making CT
gars. By agreement between the manufac-
turers and the cigar makers, entered into
last January, this system was given up and
all the work concentrated in the factories,
but the manufacturers claim that they have
not made any money since that time, and
that they must go back to tenement
houses or retire from the business.
The cigarmakers say it is true the manu-
facturers have not made much money
lately, but it is not because the tenement
houses have been abolished, but because
matchmaking machines have been so ex-
tensively introduced as to food the market
with cheap and inferior cigars, and in con-
sequence manufacturers in other cities,
where better cheap article is sent out,
have taken much of their trade On the
better grade, they say, there has been no
loss, and if the manufacturers We're to COM
pete with each other in quality and not in
price they would find themselves much
better off at the end of year.
The cigarmakers announce their determi-
ndUlOD TO SJTlkS III l0S tenement mouse SYS-
tenn is re-establIshed. They have called a
meeting for this week to devise means to
combat the movement, and a committee
to be appointed for the purpose viii report
the con .ition of affairs to the International
Cigarmakers' Union, which will doubtless
declare the threatened strike justifiable, and
in that event their entire resources, in which
is included a cash reserve of nearl $500 900
will be made avail BILE in aiding the strikers.
The movement of the manufacturers is
one which they might well III the interest
of humanity forego. Notwithstanding the
statement made by their attorney that the
tenement house system had been in opera
ton before the war and was shown to be
harmless, there can be no doubt that it is one
which cannot be too strongly condemned.
1t saps the vitality of the work people,
and the fact that under it whole families
live i'll an atmosphere of tobacco day and
night, and are rarely able to get the least
bit of fresh air, is in itself sufficient evil
dence of its deadliness. Children brought
up under such conditions viii find existence
burden and have their lives shortened.
The system amounts to cruelty. and if a
general strike attends its re-e5tablishment,
the sympathies Of the public will be with
the cigarmakers.

BACK TO THE OLD LOVE.
A Divorce Couple Remarked After
Seventeen Years Separation.


\ Louisville special to the Philadelphia Press,
Dec p, says: While Mayor Warder of Jeffer-
sonville, still in bed at a. m. yesterday, he
was called upon to marry Richard Mcdaniel and
Amanda Downs, and without raising his head
from his pillow. went through the ceremony.
Thirty-two years ago Mcdaniel was a prosper
Gus young mere ant of Jeffersonville, and Miss
Amanda White was belle. They were married.
Fifteen years later the husband was persuaded
to invest some money in faro bank. He neg
lected his wife and his business, and finally be,
came addicted TO drink. While her husband
was absent on a protracted spree
Mrs. Mcdaniel secured divorce. Mcdaniel
read the notice in an indianapolis paper
the next day. He returned to JeffersOnville,
sold out his business, placed the proceeds in
bank and disappeared. Although he had nearly
S100,0 he took only few hundred with him.
When he had been gone year an adIninistra-
tor for his estate was appointed, and it has CON
stantly increased in value through the years OF
his absence Meanwhile, Mrs. Mcpauiel's sister,
Mrs. Downs, died, and Mrs. Mcdaniel, in order
to care for the children. married the husband.
Fourteen years they lived together happily.
Two years ago Downs died and the whole care
of the family was thrown upon the wife. Last
Saturday at the post Office she came face to
face with her first husband. whom she had not
seen for seventeen years. They recognized each
other at once and the old affection returned.
McDanel's large property was turned over TO
him few days before they met.
